금기와 터부 그리고 사진 - 현대 사진예술에 나타난 금기의 재현

초록

The representation of ban has been long enough to be the history of painting. The prohibition and taboo, which reveal the historically repressed desires, were revived by some great painters. It is mostly exposed secretly as a roundabout method, but was still put in the shadow of surveillance. However, with entering the modern art that is begun an internal inquiry into human nature in the 18th century, the repressed desire is gradually unveiled beyond the fence of surveillance and control.Especially following the invention of photograph, the popularization of photograph accelerated the reappearance of ban with a different method from the past beyond the simple duplication of reality. That is because the photograph available for infinite replication shows private scenes in a pile, which couldn’t be seen by the public for a long time, in the form of propagation, while giving credibility(ça a été) in the irrefutable scene to starers. Thus, the revival of ban, which communicates with the public, can be considered to be from this time in fact. The representation of ban in contemporary photograph art became one of the most important artistic discourses. In particular, many artists who belong to the postmodernism series actually utilize photograph as the most important medium. That is because a photograph is not merely an outcome of image, but becomes a practician in the process of making a work such as situation posing, historical composition, mise-en-scene, performance, etc.The representation of ban, which is shown in contemporary photograph art, appears largely with four types. Above all, when the ban in the sphere of political ideology is indicated as an open secret or historical regression in group society, the social ban is mainly related to ethical issue and sensationalism for the happiness of majority rather than a right to know in the general public. The oldest ban for survival and persistiveness in group community is relevant to religion and sex. The religious ban, which is revived by artists, is understood as artistic gesture that fights against the absolute authority and obedience of a church such as homosexuality, abortion, sexual decision, racial issue and against a blind faith in religious dogma. Finally, the representation of sexual ban that the contemporarily modeling photographers plainly disclose through utilizing a photo is also the deliberation on the distorted and suppressed sex of the day that deprives even the self-determination of sex on top of the commercialized sex and the inflexible sex education in group society.
